Offer in-person payment for your event ticketing with Ticket Tailor and Stripe Terminal

Offering in-person payment could help you sell 20% more tickets

While selling tickets is becoming progressively moving online, current research shows that up to 20% of event tickets are still sold at the door. Whether it’s for attendee convenience or to capitalise on impulse purchases, this demonstrates that accepting in-person payments opens up vast opportunities.

But it might not seem straightforward. Integrating in-person payments with your online ticket sales used to come with its own set of challenges. Until now. 

Ticket Tailor launches Stripe Terminal

We’ve partnered with our payment provider, Stripe, to offer in-person payments with Stripe Terminal. Terminal lets you handle in-person payments with card readers that are ready to go out of the box, so you can start accepting payments right away. 

Not only does this open up a new revenue stream for venues not currently offering in-person payment, but it also makes it easier for event organizers already selling online and on the door. Transferring online and in-person sales to the same platform with Ticket Tailor means you can see all your transactions in one place – allowing for cleaner financial reporting and reconciliation. 

On top of this, Terminal allows event organizers to deliver a better, more convenient purchasing experience for customers, improving customer satisfaction and loyalty (great if you run recurring events!).

In the past year alone, Terminal payment volume has increased sixfold. As consumers return to in-person shopping, businesses around the world are now able to seamlessly accept both online and offline payments in a single system”.
